I want to sharpen my own jointer and planer blades so I was lookking into the Makita 9820 for $259, like this one here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000223JC/ref=pd_sbs_hi_1/103-8914187-3857467?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=228013
Then I come across this:
Makita G2017 Blade Sharpener for $249
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000E6TE6/qid=1139319818/sr=1-2/ref=pd_bbs_2/103-8914187-3857467?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=228013
What is going on? Is this the identical machine? Is it reconditioned?
FYI, I tried the promo codes but nothing works for this sharpener, although it looks like the $30 or $40 off should apply. I sent an email to amazon. It qualifies for free shipping, so the Makita at around $220 total sounds like a bargain.
